Wizard: strange behavior when wi-fi password has spaces
Posted: 24 Feb 2015, 21:25
This is my first week using Porteus. After a search, I have not found a similar post to this issue: in the Wizard, when my wi-fi password has spaces, the Wireless Connection Details screen seems to misbehave, and then the wizard fails to connect to my wireless access point.
When the password has spaces, the notification for password match will always default to "Passwords do not match" even though my careful typing says they do. If I start with a password without spaces, I get a successful password match message. If I then inject a space into a password, the notification changes to "The passwords match The passwords do not match *blue checkmark*"
I can confirm that I can successfully connect to a different access point that has a contiguous password. However, that access point is not appropriate for my intended use of Porteus.
Perhaps I have missed a detail in trying to make this work. I am happy to perform tests and report back findings.

Editorial: I looked at both Kiosk 3.1 and 3.2 and I have to say I'm very impressed with 3.2. It is well thought out, clearly designed, and simple to setup and administer. After our evaluation period, this may be a paid product for us.
